From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

What with all the Star Wars hype and Game of Thrones leaks recently, you might have forgotten about good old House of Cards.

UPDATE: The announcement was made - watch it here.

It’s been consistently brilliant in its first three seasons, and tonight we’re set to get some sort of glimpse at the fourth.

“BREAKING NEWS: President Underwood will be making a special announcement tonight during the #GOPDebate,” its official Twitter account declared.

We’ll be lucky if the address constitutes a teaser trailer, more likely it will just be a mini-speech from Frank that in some way alludes to the plot of the upcoming season.

So far, details on the new House of Cards episodes are scant, though we do know that Neve Campbell (Scream) has joined the cast in a recurring role, along with Colm Feore (The Good Wife).

Netflix has yet to confirm a release date, but its promo schedule marries up with previous ones, and the last three seasons all debuted in February, so that month is a pretty safe bet.

Season 3 ended dramatically, with First Lady Claire Underwood apparently walking out on the President.
